Burnt Umber

Burnt Umber – Handmade Watercolor in Metal Pan Warm, earthy, and rich — Burnt Umber is a classic earth-pigment brown made from natural Italian umber clay that has been calcined to deepen its hue. The resulting paint offers a warm chocolate-to-amber brown that is versatile, natural, and perfect for landscape tones, shadows, earthy washes, and neutral mixes. Each batch is hand-mulled in small quantities using high-quality natural earth pigments. The paint texture is smooth and creamy, with reliable flow and easy rewetting. Every pan is poured into a robust metal pan — ideal for portable palettes, plein-air, or long-term studio use.
